More versatile than flat plate

"Kiri" means that the edge part has a sharp shape. Since it is a little deeper than a normal round plate, it can be used for various dishes than a flat plate.
When incorporating warm pottery into your life, what you care about is how to handle it. The so-called earthenware is delicate, and many people may hesitate to use it everyday. For such people, we recommend that you first try porcelain. Porcelain made from porcelain is strong because it is baked at a high temperature of 1200 ° C or higher when it is produced, and the dishwasher and microwave oven are also durable.
There are various types of porcelain, such as Kutani ware, which is characterized by its colorful painting, and Arita ware, which is characterized by its elegant whiteness. Among them, this time I would like to introduce Tobe ware, a simple and warm porcelain. Among them, the vessels of the Umeyama kiln, the oldest kiln, are beautifully painted, and you can enjoy the unique taste of a long-established store that has walked a long history of 150 years with life.

Versatile vessel and beautiful painting

The 8-inch round plate can be used as a flat plate on which the main dish is placed, but it is an excellent dish that can be used for soups such as simmered dishes by taking advantage of its depth. It is easy to stack when storing, and the rounded shape makes it easy to hold by hand.
When you think of Japanese dishes, you might think of serving Japanese food, but in fact, Western food is also recommended. The simplicity of the Japanese plate goes well with the colorful Western dishes and stimulates your appetite, so you can serve the main dish such as pasta, or try it on one plate and put the toast for breakfast on it.

The painting drawn by a craftsman with a single stroke is a unique technique called the Umeyama style, which has the dynamics unique to folk crafts, but is not too gorgeous and simple, and harmonizes with any dish. The lively pattern with nature as a motif complements the monochromatic dishes, and the bright blue color of the white base and Kuresu, which is the characteristic of porcelain, enhances the colors of the multicolored dishes and enhances the appetite. ..

A vessel where tradition lives

Tobe ware, which began production in 1775, and the long-established kiln, Umeyama Kiln, which has been walking along with its long history, were opened by Seigoro Umeno in 1882. Soetsu Yanagi, Shoji Hamada, Shigeo Suzuki, who had the oldest history of Tobe ware pottery and promoted a folk art movement advocating the value that "beauty is in life" for the reconstruction of Tobe ware after the Pacific War. Kanjiro Kawai and others were involved in the production of the Umeyama kiln, and completed a unique technical technique in which each piece is hand-made from rokuro to painting.
The flow of this movement has been handed down to the present day as "a shape that is close to daily life," "a pattern that allows you to feel nature," and "a simple and beautiful" handwork, "and has become a user under the concept of" use and beauty. " We continue to make vessels that are close to each other.
Umeyama kiln vessels use only those from Tobe, from pottery stones to Kuresu pigments, and are a brand rooted not only in daily life but also in the community. The vessel, which is filled with deep feelings for both the creator and the community, has a beauty that you will never let go of.
